Report: Cancer Death Rate Dropped 33% Since 1991, While Some Cancers Have Risen

A new report revealed that the cancer death rate in the United States has gone down 33% since 1991, even as some concerns remain over rises in other cancers.

The report, published in the CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians on Thursday, said that even though the pandemic happened, and was different from other top mortality causes, the death rate from cancer kept going down from 2019 to 2020. This assisted in a comprehensive drop of 33% since 1991, and around 3.8 million deaths avoided by estimation.

However, not all cancer rates went down. The prostate cancer rate went up 3% per year from 2014 to 2019 after it had been going down for twenty years. Breast and uterine corpus cancers also went up. Early discovery can help with all of these cancers, the report stated.

“There’s a significant call to arms,” Karen Knudsen, the American Cancer Society’s chief executive officer, told the Wall Street Journal. “We are not catching these cancers early when we have an opportunity to cure men of prostate cancer.” (Read more from “Report: Cancer Death Rate Dropped 33% Since 1991, While Some Cancers Have Risen” HERE)
